Bayliss MK 7 Vent Opener

Bayliss MK 7 Vent Opener

Suitable for use on nearly all greenhouses this Bayliss MK7 is an extremely reliable, British made, automatic vent opener.
The bayliss Mk7 vent opener is operated by a stainless steel cylinder containing a mineral wax which expands with heat; this pushes a piston causing the vent to open. As the temperature falls the wax contracts and a strong stainless steel spring closes the opener.

Fixing Tip

 When fitting the Autovent within your greenhouse, the correct preparation beforehand makes fixing simple.

 Remove the Autovent unit and fixings from its box.

 Place the Autovent unit in a cool place for half an hour - a refrigerator is ideal. This allows the wax in the power tube to contract as it cools.

 When the Autovent unit is cool, remove from the refrigerator and place the steel piston rod against a hard surface and push it firmly back into the tube. 

 The Autovent is not ready to fix in place.
